Hermes Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vetiver - Eau de Parfum Spray 50ml

Product Information

And to briefly mention the many comparisons with Terre d'Hermès as eau de toilette and eau de parfum and the grey vetiver: Hermes Vetiver opens with a powerful bergamot, which does not come across pointed, but deep, round, full and acidic - just great. But right from the start, with about 50%, there is a woody green note that provides a dry counterpoint to its striking freshness, but complements it quite well. Funnily enough, for about 10 minutes, the flint known from Terre d'Hermès can also be perceived, but only skin-deep and then only homeopathically ... Unfortunately, the tart citrus soon recedes to about half, while the vetiver increasingly gains the upper hand. What you smell from the second hour, is a fresh citrus interwoven dry dark green wood, which creates a very linear course with a neat pinch of pepper. The end of the original was marked by cedar, so strong that one involuntarily had to think of a pencil-sharpening assistant accountant. Now, with a good shot of vetiver on it, it smells like a lot more authority. So rather head of finance and controlling. The price or the price-performance ratio is, I think, generally justified and for an average of 80€/100 ml also affordable for everyone, although it is "too uncomplex" for this price and I would expect a little more, but this is of course in the eye of the beholder. I have to be honest: personally I would not have bought it, because although I have nothing against vetiver in principle, it is not my favourite ingredient and I prefer other fragrances and scents.

Otherwise, it is just a fairly linear Vetiver representative of the also for itself in the Hermès portfolio could be led, but otherwise would not have attracted so much attention.In the middle there was always a desolate and empty boredom for me - into which much was kept secret: from flintstone to an asphalt surface after midsummer rain. It just smelled like a lot of Iso-E Super to me. Christine Nagel has now given the thing pepper, Szechuan pepper more precisely, and the result is a powerful and persistent spice.

In summary, a masculine, distinctive and authoritative vetiver scent that accompanies the present (and powerful) man throughout the day (through the office). Hermès in-house perfumer Christine Nagel developed Terre d'Hermès Eau Intense Vétiver, and its description is pretty straightforward:The bottle receives 7 points from me! The glass has an intimated "H" shape, also at the bottom. A "metal plate" with integrated sprayer is attached to the top of the glass. On the sprayer is engraved "Hermes", the cap that encloses the sprayer has to be turned to make the sprayer visible and is held in a matching brown tone. Simply a great design. Why do I still deduct three points? Und so wünscht man sich einen Duft doch eigentlich, oder? Schon, aber für mich ist diese Richtung einfach zu maskulin. Ich halte ihn für einen top Duft wenn es in eine säuerlich, kräftig kühle Grünholzigkeit gehen soll und man nichts in Richtung Barbershop sucht. Doch obwohl ich es nicht so recht wahrhaben wollte und dieser Vetiver eigentlich recht gut zu mir passen müsste, konnte ich mich über die Monate doch nicht so recht mit ihm anfreunden, weil er mir schlicht zu prägnant, markant und dominant war. Der Ausklang des Originals war von Zeder geprägt, und zwar so stark, dass man unwillkürlich an einen bleistiftspitzenden Hilfsbuchhalter denken musste. Jetzt, mit einem ordentlichen Schuss Vetiver darauf, riecht es nach deutlich mehr Autorität. Also eher Leiter Finanzen und Controlling.
